CBAM FOR MANUFACTURERS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EU CARBON EMISSION REGULATIONS

A Practical Guide to CBAM Compliance and Emissions Reporting

The European Union has introduced the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to regulate the import of CO2-intensive goods. For you as a manufacturer, this means that you must carefully record and report the carbon emissions of your products. This not only secures your access to the EU market, but also your competitive advantage.

The verification process starts with careful data collection of your entire production. You must calculate and document the specific emissions per product (both direct and indirect emissions). This data must then be checked and certified by an independent, accredited third party. This certification is the official proof your EU importers need to be able to import your goods without additional costs or delays.
Early verification is your most important competitive advantage. With a verified certificate, you can immediately offer your EU importers legal certainty and planning security. This makes your products more attractive compared to competitors without certified data and secures you a favoured position in the international supply chain.
Yes, because CBAM is also an opportunity to make your manufacturing process more sustainable and profitable. A lower carbon footprint of your production not only leads to a lower CBAM tax, but also strengthens the confidence of your customers and investors. We help you to identify and implement these optimization potentials in order to reduce your costs in the long term and position your brand as an environmentally conscious pioneer.
CBAM currently affects the following sectors, which are known for their CO2 intensity: Steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity and hydrogen. If you manufacture products in these categories, you are directly affected by the new regulation.

The CBAM process is divided into two phases.

Transition phase (until end of 2025): This period is about reporting. As a manufacturer, you must record the emissions of your exported goods and pass them on to your EU importers. No payments are yet due. The aim is to prepare you for the final phase.

Final phase (from 2026): This is where it gets serious. From 2026, your EU importers will have to buy CBAM certificates for the emissions of your products. If you as a manufacturer do not provide the data correctly, your customer (the importer) will incur additional costs. This can make your product less attractive and will jeopardize your competitive advantage.

Conclusion: The transition phase is free preparation. The final phase is the time of financial consequences. Early, correct reporting will secure your business in the EU.

Early action is your biggest advantage. CBAM regulation is not just an obligation, but a strategic opportunity that will secure your market access to the EU in the long term.
  • Avoid risks: Don't wait until the final phase begins. Without correct reporting from 2026, your EU importers could face financial penalties and delays at customs. This makes your products unattractive compared to the competition and can jeopardize your position in the supply chain.
  • Seize opportunities: If you adapt early, you will become a favoured partner. With verified emissions data, you can offer your customers in the EU planning security and a trustworthy product. This not only gives you a competitive advantage, but also positions your company as a responsible pioneer in your sector.
  • Optimize processes: Use the transition phase to analyze and improve your internal processes. Accurately recording your emissions enables you to identify optimization potential and make your production more efficient and sustainable in the long term.
